What a great look at two short stories (novellas) by Stephen King.

"A Good Marriage" does a great what if. What if you find out the person you married, had children with, made love to, told your troubles to, was not who they seemed to be. What if they were a monster? What would you do? King does a great job of showing a marriage of comfort that gets upended when something sinister is revealed. No spoilers, just don't know if I could have been as strong. One reason why I love King, and always will, is that he shows you how monsters and those who do evil just look like those around us.

"1922" I previously read and it still freaks me out a bit. I think the reason they put "A Good Marriage" and this one together is to show the contrast between a comfortable marriage and one that has gone to seed. "1922" has more or a horror element on a fantasy level than the previous story. You may pity the main character (I did) and end up thinking long about irony.

Great stories! Recommend strongly.

I could not put this book down. I just wanted to know what the wife was going to do. This is a great story and a great short read. I loved the suspense of it and the back and forth of it. Great read for me

Finally got around to read a Stephen King novel. I was intimidated at first because I feared I would hate his books but like the movies. I loved this book, it was a short read but I enjoyed it .
